What if you can end your days
Doing the shit you love with the ones you love?
You beat the house at its own game
So why did your name get lost when you've built so much?

How did you find grace
Under pressure, all that pressure?
How did you step away
From your empire? Did it just get tired?

And when the time comes
I'd love to know how, how did you do it?
I'd love to know how, how did you do it?
The waves were high, but somehow you ruled them
How did you do it? Oh, how did you do it?
No easy life, but somehow you schooled them
How did you do it? Oh, how did you do it?

You made the boys all bend and shake
Taking the southern seas with some husband's name
But the man-made arms of history
Then pulled you behind their cloak so predictably

What drove you to the waves?
Was it money? Was it power?
Did it take a woman's mind to say
You were ready, it was over?

And when the time comes
I'd love to know how, how did you do it?
I'd love to know how, how did you do it?
The waves were high, but somehow you ruled them
How did you do it? Oh, how did you do it?
No easy life, but somehow you schooled them
How did you do it? Oh, how did you do it?

Ah, ayy
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da
